QUOTE BOAT
“The command was there. For a rehab start, I thought it went really well. Having Corky [Miller at catcher], someone I’m familiar with helped too; I only shook off one pitch [he called].”- Homer Bailey on yesterday’s rehab start (Toledo Blade)
“He looks like he’s ready to go [back up] now. We didn’t have many good swings, and that’s a credit to him.” – Toledo manager Phil Nevin on Bailey (Toledo Blade)
